Makita SP6000 Manuel D'instruction page 11

The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate
straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly
against the side of the workpiece and secure it in
position with the screws on the front and the back of
the base. It also makes repeated cuts of uniform width
possible.
Overturning the rip fence (guide rule) also works as a
sub base for the tool.
Plunge cutting (Cutting-out)
► 1. Rear edge of tool base 2. Fixed stop
WARNING:
• To avoid a kickback, be sure to observe the
following instructions.
When using the tool without guide
rail
Place the tool on the workpiece with the rear edge of
tool base against a fixed stop or equivalent which is
devised by an operator.
When using the tool with guide rail
Place the tool on the guide rail with the rear edge of
tool base against a fixed stop or equivalent which is
clamped on the guide rail.
Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the front grip and
the other on the tool handle. Then push in the lock-off
button and turn the tool on and wait until the blade
attains full speed. Now press down the saw head slowly
to the preset depth of cut and simply move the tool
forward to the desired plunge position.
NOTE:
• The markings on the side of the blade guard
show the absolute front and the absolute rear
cutting points of the saw blade (A for diameter
160 mm and B for diameter 165 mm) at the
maximum cutting depth and using the guide rail.

Guide device (accessories)
Use of the miter gauge (accessory) allows exact miter
cuts with angles and fitting works.
Use of the clamp (accessory) ensures firm hold of work-
piece on the table.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspec-
tion or maintenance.
• Clean out the guard to ensure there is no accumu-
lated sawdust which may impede the operation of
the guarding system. A dirty guarding system may
limit the proper operation which could result in serious
personal injury. The most effective way to accomplish
this cleaning is with compressed air. If the dust is
being blown out of the guard be sure the proper
eye and breathing protection is used.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Adjusting for accuracy of 90° and
45° cut (vertical and 45° cut)
This adjustment has been made at the factory. But if it is
off, adjust the adjusting screws with a hex wrench while
inspecting 90° or 45° the blade with the base using a
triangular rule or square rule, etc.
